New Microsoft Teams app generally available on Azure Virtual Desktop
We are happy to announce the general availability of the new Microsoft Teams app on Azure Virtual Desktop. Microsoft Teams on Azure Virtual Desktop supports chat and collaboration. With media optimizations, it also supports calling and meeting functionality by redirecting it to the local device when using a supported Remote Desktop client. Users and admins can now experience and enjoy all the benefits of the new Teams app on their virtual desktop. The new Teams App has not only matched features of the classic Teams app, but has also improved performance, reliability, and security. Moving forward, new features and capabilities as well as enhancements to existing features will be available exclusively in the new Teams. The classic Teams will reach the end of support on June 30th, 2024, after which users will not be able to use the classic Teams and will be asked to switch to the new Teams app. Therefore, we recommend you update to the new Teams today. Note: New Teams for Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) in Microsoft 365 Government clouds (GCC, GCC-H, DoD) will be rolled out at a later date. For more information on upgrading to the new Teams App, see Upgrade to new Teams for Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)and the Microsoft Teams blog.

We are pleased to announce the public preview of symmetric NAT support for RDP Shortpath. This feature is the extension of the GA RDP Shortpath feature that allows us to establish a UDP connection indirectly using relay with the TURN (Traversal Using Relays around NAT) protocol for symmetric NAT. What is TURN? TURN is a popular standard for device-to-device networking that is now available for low latency, high-throughput data transmission with Azure Communication Services. It allows developers to quickly bootstrap to a high-performance, redundant, and globally scaled set of networking services that are often themselves complex and expensive to deploy. These services can power real-time communication between web or mobile applications built with open-source WebRTC clients, even when endpoints are behind NAT or firewalls that may prevent direct peer-to-peer connections. Developers can use the low-level standards-compliant TURN service for raw high-performance data transmission or layer voice or video communication experiences on top of this data channel. How can I use it? The feature is available invalidation host poolsand enabled for all connections. There is no additional configuration needed to enable the feature. Since outbound connectivity is required between the session hosts and client to function as intended, we recommend allowing outbound UDP connectivity to the Internet. IT Admins canlimit the port rangeused to listen to the incoming UDP flow. The feature is currently available in14 regions, and we are planning to extend it to other regions in the future. The connection initiated across regions will use UDP established through TURN where available. Otherwise, the connection will revert to theexisting mechanism.

We are pleased to announce the general availability of RDP Shortpath for public networks. RDP Shortpath improves the transport reliability of Azure Virtual Desktop connections by establishing a direct UDP data flow between the Remote Desktop client and session hosts. This feature is enabled by default for all customers. We started deploying RDP Shortpath in September and now the feature is 100% rolled out. What is RDP Shortpath for public network? RDP Shortpath lets user sessions directly establish a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) flow between client and session host using the Simple Traversal Underneath NAT (STUN) and Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) protocols. This enhancestransport reliability for Azure Virtual Desktop. To ensure a seamless rollout and that most customers receive the improved reliability RDP Shortpathoffers without making extra work for the IT admins, we have enabled this feature for all connections by default. Outbound connectivity is required between the session hosts and client to function as intended.Therefore, we recommend allowing outbound UDP connectivity to the Internet. IT Admins canlimit the port rangeused to listen to the incoming UDP flow. For more information about how to configure firewalls for RDP Shortpath, seeallow outbound UDP connectivity.

We are pleased to announce that we will start deploying RDP Shortpath for public networks on September 6th. The feature will be delivered tovalidation host poolsbefore going live in production host pools.RDP Shortpath improves the transport reliability of Azure Virtual Desktop connections by establishing a direct UDP data flow between the Remote Desktop client and session hosts. This feature will be enabled by default for all customers. What is RDP Shortpath for public networks? RDP Shortpath lets user sessions directly establish a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) flow between client and session host using the Simple Traversal Underneath NAT (STUN) and Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) protocols. This will enhance transport reliability for Azure Virtual Desktop.For more information, check outAzure Virtual Desktop RDP Shortpath for public networks. For TCP-based transport, the outbound traffic from Virtual Machine to the RDP client is through Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD Gateway). With RDP Shortpath, the outbound traffic is established directly between session host and RDP client over the internet. This helps reduce a hop and improves latency and end user experience. Due to changes in the data flow for RDP Shortpath, there will be changes in egress network charge billed per subscription according toAzure standard pricingfor the internetbandwidthconsumed. When will this feature be generally available? We have been previewing this feature with great feedback from our customers and will begin making this generally available September 6th. First, we’ll enable it only in validation host pools, before going live in production host pools. The feature will be enabled for all customers by default. Once it’s available in production host pools, we recommenddeletingthe preview registry key. Who will get RDP Shortpath for public networks? To ensure a seamless rollout and that most customers receive the improved reliability RDP Shortpath offers without making extra work for the IT admins, we’ll enable this feature for all connections by default.This feature requires outbound connectivity between the session hosts and client to function as intended. Therefore, we recommend allowing outbound UDP connectivity to the Internet. IT Admins canlimit the port rangeused to listen to the incoming UDP flow. For more information about how to configure firewalls for RDP Shortpath, seeallow outbound UDP connectivity Symmetric Network Address Translation (NAT) environments, also known as bidirectional NAT environments, don’t support RDP Shortpath. Therefore, IT admins in large organizations that have some users in symmetric NAT while others aren’t, may see that some users won't benefit immediately from this new capability. For network environments that don’t support RDP Shortpath, the Remote Desktop client will fall back to existing paths, such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)-basedreverse connect transport, and will continue to function as normal. If you’d prefer to keep using TCP-based reverse connect, you can turn this feature off by using one of the following options, which you can configure at any time before or during the feature rollout: Turn off User Datagram Protocol (UDP) support for the following group policy to deactivate the feature in the session host: Rungpedit.msc or open the control panel and search “Edit group policy.” Go toComputer Configuration>Administration Templates>Windows Components>Remote Desktop Services> Remote Desktop Connection Host > Connections > Select RDP transport protocols. Select Use TCP only. Disable the following ‘Group Policy’ to turn off the UDP support for a specific client: Rungpedit.msc or open the control panel and search for “Edit group policy. Go to Computer Configuration > Administration Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Connection Client. Set the "Turn Off UDP On Client" setting to Enabled. Customers can also turn this feature off using Intune: Follow the instructions inthis articleto set the Intune policy “ADMX_TerminalServer/TS_SELECT_TRANSPORT” as "Use only TCP.” Sep 7, 2022 – This post was edited after publication to clarify pricing information and timeline.7.7KViews0likes10Comments
